Daddy's Darcy Sketch

Picture
Your daddy made a sketch from the only picture of you smiling through your tubes.  The picture was taken after you were resuscitated three times on October 5, 2008 by your dad and the paramedic.  We look sad on the picture because were saying our goodbyes.  We and your siblings read you scripture through the night and sang you songs.  I like to think that you were smiling because you were in the presence of Jesus.

Little did we know that God wanted you to be with us for another week.

Darcy, behold your little brother - Roman Brooklyn Ramos VII!

Your dad and I checked in at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands at 7:15 am on November 19, 2009.  At 12:48 pm Roman "Brooklyn" Ramos VII arrived!  Brooklyn was born at 19.5 inches and 7 lbs 3 oz with an apgar of 9 & 9.  Thank you, Lord!

Yes, that's me updating my Facebook status every so often :)

Happy Birthday, Darcy!  9-27-2009

Happy birthday, Darcy! 

We started the day going to the store for balloons (15 for the site and 1 to let go), 15 roses, and a donut with a candle.  It's our family tradition to wake birthday celebrants with a donut, candle, and a song, so we did it to you :)  Before we left, we kissed a pink balloon and let it go to honor your home-going.

At 8 pm, we went to Chili's where your Ate Britt works and ate a ton of desserts. Then, at 9:52 pm, we gathered around the kitchen table and sang you a happy birthday like we did 15 times last year.  Many loved ones did the same thing for you.  You are so special, my little love.

Wow, Darcy, how you've grown!  What an awesome privilege to see God's handiwork.  Your face is perfect, the cycsts in your brain have seem to disappear, your fingers move, and your organs seem to be intact.  God is great!  Thanks to everyone all over the world who have been praying for you.  Could it be that God is building an audience to show us His power?  As if He hasn't already!  Christ admonished his disciples when He told them "Oh ye of little faith!." 

Lord, please forgive our unbelief.  You are the Great Physician.  You created the universe and we will be glad to eat the crumbs from your table.  We marvel at how your are putting little Darcy together.  Thank you for allowing us to watch a miracle in the making!


Your  Future House

This is going to be your first house, Darcy.  We're moving here in three weeks (August 1).  We're working from dusk till dawn, sometimes till 2 am packing and cleaning.  It's amazing how much stuff accumulates in 10 years!  We hate to move, but it will be better for you and us.  It's large enough to accommodate all of us :)  You will room with Mommy and Daddy at first.  After that, we'll see. 

God is great and  God is good!


I See You!

These are your crazy brothers taking a bath.  Can you see Bryson through the bubbles?


Your Oldest Sister Going to a Formal

Darcy, this is Brittany all decked out to go with friends to a Formal.  Pretty, huh?

More pics at our Dropshots photo album.


Your Big Brother,  Bryson

Bryson is a serious boy most of the time.  But he will love on  you like crazy.  This is his crazy smile.  Not sure what the orange thing inside his mouth is.


Darcy, here are pics of your Mom and siblings.

When  No Other Car Will Do

To get ready for Darcy, we sold all of Mom and Dad's toys and bough a large Van!  One week later, the kids turned it into the Scooby Doo Mystery Van!

OK.  That was a joke.  Below is the real Ramos Bus.  Pretty good Photoshoping, huh?

Come on, Darcy!  We're ready for ya!


Soli Deo Gloria!
